Dr. Michela Passoni LMFT

In sessions, you can expect a safe, empathetic, and collaborative space to explore your concerns. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship that fosters trust and mutual respect, allowing you to feel heard and validated. You will be encouraged to engage in a process of self-exploration and personal growth. I will help you tap into your inner resources and strengths. You will learn to identify and understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering you to make more intentional and fulfilling life choices. Ultimately, you can expect to leave our sessions feeling more empowered, with a greater sense of self-awareness, and with the tools and insights needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and resilience.

I utilize evidence-based treatment methods to help clients achieve their goals, while also recognizing and addressing the impact of cultural factors. I draw upon a range of treatment approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic-existential therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions, to tailor my approach to each client’s unique needs and circumstances. I employ various assessment tools, such as psychological tests and diagnostic interviews to gain a deeper understanding of an individual’s struggles. My approach is client-centered, meaning that I work collaboratively with clients to identify their unique needs, goals, and values. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to help clients develop skills, insights, and resilience.
